I’m hearing early voting numbers are very low. That’s a good thing! There is LOTS of campaigning yet to do, voters need facts first. The actual election isn’t until March 20th!
Thanks to Bruce Rauner’s endless mailings filled with lies, Jeanne Ives now has name recognition across the state. I can’t believe a so-called Republican is desperate enough make up his own facts. See the Ives responses with some humor here: https://ivesforillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Responses-to-Rauners-Deceitful-Campaign-Ads.pdf
One person who did vote early was Nikita Richards. Did she vote when she was supposed to be working for the City of Bloomington or just post this pic to Facebook during working hours? Campaigning on public property is illegal Nikita!
Calls for Mike Madigan to step down as the head of the Democrat Party in Illinois are increasing after he fired two associates over sexual harassment complaints.
Evidently it took months before he acted. The Chicago Tribune has details with more stories linked at the bottom: ↓

I thought taking photos in a voting venue was illegal.
Taking pictures and posting a completed ballot is illegal
She forgot to tell her Republican friends about primary decisions. Oops!
I wonder if she has any Republican friends. I used to have mostly democrat friends, but then I disagreed with some of their ideas. I very quickly became “the enemy”! It’s not funny that many tried to silence me when I was true to my beliefs. So I guess I was never really a friend. I was a sheep. It’s very freeing to follow the truth instead of a lie. I’m glad I found Diane’s blog and started paying attention. I hope Nikita and others wake up to the truth. We may not agree on politics, but I think we all, deep down, believe that real freedom means having the ability to be true to our conscious and loyal to citizens, not lobbyist. I don’t agree with Nikita. I won’t vote for her, but if she wins I will advocate for myself and my neighbors. I can’t support anyone who is supported by Renner or Buragas. Those two have no cares for this community.
Laws are for “other” people, they DO NOT apply to democrats. This IS Illinois after all.
Most government employees get 1 hour paid time off to vote. We did at ISU.
Not surprising since its soooooooo difficult to vote on your own time!
Does anyone know the truth? Is Jeanne Ives really a Madigan supporter or are Raunners’ ads really misleading the voter?
Rauner is a desperate liar. Ives has stood up to Madigan many times on the House floor. Read her website.
Thank you will go to her website
She’s got fake hair, just like The Donald! Ha!
Really? come on, plenty of other things to talk about.
But she has a real birth certificate, unlike the Kenyan spy
Can we stick to the facts please?
Ives will fight corruption. She will be credible in this fight because she is not corrupt. If Illinois can fight corruption 85% of our problems will be solved. I feel like Ives has the best thing known to man going for her. She is honest.
